In this diverse collection of objects, we embark on a captivating journey through time and cultures. Our first stop takes us to Tokyo Bay, where a dancing girl gracefully moves to the rhythm of the city's vibrant energy. Her fluid movements mirror the ebb and flow of life in this bustling metropolis. Next, we find ourselves in the presence of a mischievous young girl who finds amusement in pulling the hair of a Chinese statue. This playful act bridges the gap between ancient traditions and youthful innocence. Moving further back in history, we witness Louis XII and Anne of Brittany engaging in an age-old practice - making alumone. Captured beautifully by Adrien Thibault's painted plate, this moment symbolizes their royal union and artistic craftsmanship. Delving into ancient times, we encounter a seashell-shaped silver cosmetic case from Magna Graecia dating back to the 3rd century BC. Its intricate design speaks volumes about beauty rituals that have transcended generations. A polychrome terracotta bust of Heracles-Melkarth catches our attention next. With a kernos adorning his head, this artifact from the 4th century BC embodies strength and divine power. Continuing our exploration, we stumble upon a prehistoric tool from the Solutrean period - an object that connects us with our distant ancestors and their ingenuity. The guillotine emerges as both an instrument of freedom and terror as we encounter its true ordinary form. A symbol steeped in history, it reminds us of humanity's struggle for justice throughout different eras. Paranormal activity captivates our imagination when witnessing newborns moving objects through levitation - is it poltergeist or telekinesis? A chromolithography from the end of the 19th century captures this mysterious phenomenon that continues to intrigue us today.
